I just found this today, and I must admit that although the story appears on hiatus, I hope you continue. It is very well written, and I agree with you, the show did not elaborate enough to explain their attachment. Thank you for the enjoyment your talent imparts!

This is just wonderful. You've taken great care with the language, creating a mood and a psychological underpinning for the budding relationship between Peggy and William. Restraint and understatement is wholly appropriate here, even with two young people intensely attracted to each other.

I like too that you've touched on their mutual longing for joy and for freedom, for life itself.
